got bored doing the planes so i thought i'd model a dragon.

i made one a while bk but i dunno where the old file is.

anyway this is what it looked like http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=44401&b=3

well anyway i think i've improved quite a bit since then and now i'm giving it another try.

this is what i got so far.

looks nice so far . Although, it does look a little wrinkly (that could just be because most of my dragons are close to smooth .). And for when you make the legs..make the back legs bend towards the front instead of straight down like the old one...other than that, great job !!! Like the look of it so far..well, theres my C&C.

getting better, but thats thing thing with 3D, you can't really get worse, you can do muck ups (like my Daron Malakian model) but can only improve, good luck with finishing it, looks good so far, have to draw attention to blackdragons point, the wrinkles, can be awkward when you try a higher polygon modelling technique, I'm sure you'll be able to sort that out

it's done using spline modeling not polly modeling so it is very high polly. i'll sort out the wrinkles when i get time to though. shouldn't be too hard.

just one thing i'm not sure about. how big should the wings be for when i get to that point? proportion wise i mean.

well at least some ppl like it so thats not too bad

You see that's the problem when using splines.

As soon as ou get a high number of them,the surface isn't smooth anymore and the shading looks aweful.It's their own nature,the less the better.

It's a best practice to model organic stuff(if not everything) using polygons and/or subdivision surfaces.

A good control over the density of the cage and the subd will let you generate a mesh under 2-3000 triangles.Awaiting for further reshaping.


That and the fact that you won't end up having to optimize it before dropping it into your game.

If I remember right, make the wings about from head, to where the tail begins, might be a little big though, I'm going to have to look at me drawings again...

ok i think i've smoothed it off better now. the holes are where the legs are gonna go. i've also made it a little wider aswell.

what u think so far?

That looks much better....not as many wrinkles which gives it a "muscular" look instead of a "bony" look. Looks good so far.
